Welcome to UCL Table Tennis Club!
Table tennis is undeniably one of the fastest sports in the world, with players requiring lightning quick reflexes and speed. Here, we provide members with an enjoyable experience of competition, camaraderie and fun. It is a perfect 'Give it a go' sport that perfectly complements your studies and helps you stay fit and healthy! We offer weekly sessions for all skill levels, whether you're picking up a racket for the first time or you're an experienced player.

What's on?
- Project Active pay and play 05/11/24 5-6pm (buy tickets from the SU website)!
Membership opportunities:
- Taster: This is a free membership which allows you to come along to one of our sessions before making a financial commitment to the club. Our taster sessions and socials will allow you to get a feel for our society!
- Social: This membership gives you access to our weekly social session (Monday) which provide you with a chance to play casual games and spend time with fellow table tennis enthusiasts. And of course you're invited to all of our exciting socials :p!
- Development: Have you ever wanted to up your game but you don't know how?! This membership is ideal for players looking to improve their game, and gives you access to social events as well as our weekly social (Monday) and development (Thursday) sessions. During development sessions, members gain access to dedicated coaching. You will be training alongside team members, who will give you tips and tricks along the way!
- Competitive: This membership is for players who have been selected to represent TeamUCL in fixtures against other universities through the team trial process! Members will have an incredible opportunity to compete in the BUCS Individual Championships in Nottingham, take part in weekly BUCS matches, and play in our annual Varsity game against our fierce rivals, King's College—where we are determined to retain our title! We are now part of the high performance training programme where we are further supported by sport development staff. Alongside representing the university at a high level, members have access to development and competitive training sessions, and coaching from an experienced coach who has been working with the club for over 20 years. Currently, our M1 and W1 are part of Southern prem, and we are looking to boost our M2 and W2 into these higher divisions.
Note: To avoid overcrowding, social and development tickets will be limited so please book tickets in advance of coming (more details about when tickets are released to come ;).
